The Parallel

                                  The Parallel

Jesus had to bear a cross.
I talk about bearing a cross.

No man took His life, but Jesus layed His life down.
At any time I could stop and just do what others want, but purposely, I let harm come to me. There's power in being a willing victim sometimes.

He endured a phoney trial with false witnesses.
I have had several meetings where many lied or kept silent.

Jesus had to be sacrificed without the gates, or Jerusalem.
I got kicked out of my Church.

Jesus did nothing wrong. He only helped, but some of the same people He helped said crucify Him.
On every front, I'm 100% right in my situation.  Some of the same people I've helped, have and some continue to harm or allow others to harm.

His fight/opposition was driven by religious and government leadership.
So is my fight, and destiny.

Many of Jesus' followers were angry with Him because He wouldn't tear down Rome.
Many "church" people are angry because I won't come against America in certain social/religious matters.

To get out of it, all Jesus had to do is say He isn't who He is.
Many have tried to get me to recant, cover up, or follow other paths in order to win, either admit I'm nothing, or be covert.

As Jesus hung, He draws attention to Himself and His situation. Even now, because it was published.
I've gotten more attention by the things I'm going through, and not being silent.

Those that passed by Jesus on the cross taunted, dared and some thought to do well by saying if you be the Christ come down and save yourself.
Many dare me and say, if you're so great and all that, go do this or go start that, move forward and just let it go.

Many are set free by Jesus.
I know for a fact many were freed, especially in their minds and souls, by the things I've said and written.

Jesus got up with ALL Power.... Oh! It's my time!!!
(I wish I could say in 3 days, though, but... :(

None of this was planned. In all points, I just listened and will continue to listen to God. Don't kill the messenger. Jesus said take up your cross and follow Him. I took that Word, and when the opportunity came, it didn't make me, but it is proving I am who God says I am. Who are you?

Now here's the difference between Jesus and me. He had to wait for the Holy Spirit to pick Him up. My instructions is now, and will be in these matters, to wait for the responsible sons of God, whom the Holy Spirit in dwells, of whom all creation awaits, to save me through repentance, apology, restoring me in all respects, and helping me or putting me in my rightful place. I'm a great Pastor, now! I'm a great public servant, now! It's your turn to prove what God has made you. You talk of confession and expectation. Here's both from me, but notice it is not to God directly, but to Him through you. That's the hope; my hope of glory.

Let's go!
